Sorry if it is a bit long, but I really put much thought into the question and answer.

Why do I like or should I say love to read and write fan fiction? Hmm that seems to be a very good question to ask a writer. That seems to be one of those “Million dollar questions” that gets them seriously thinking as to the reasons behind why they share or do their craft. So I guess going back to the question at hand why do I love to read and write fan fiction?

I guess I can start by answering the question as to why I love to write is because it’s one of my favorite talented gifts I was given at birth. I’m very creative and I guess I love to share my creativity with friends family or anyone who wants to read what I have written. Writing can temporary make me forget the hectic stress of my job in retail, miner every day problems and sometimes is a good distraction from problems. It’s a good escape from reality a great vacation where it does not cost a thing. You can go somewhere without losing a fortune in order to get there.

It’s something I enjoy doing while I am bored and want to keep my brain active to know it’s still in working order. I love to see a story that is playing or acting out in my head like a movie trailer or movie come to life on paper and to share with others. I love to be able to entertain and to grow and to thrive as a writer on fellow writers and colleague’s feed back and comments.

I feel that creativity is a positive form and way to get somewhere or out of some type of tight position. It can express how a individual can feel is feeling without actually speaking actual words. Creativity can sometimes end up helping someone else maybe can cheer them up, entertain and amuse. If there was never any creativity in the world or encouragement to be creative or different the world would seriously be a very boring place.

Being creative has helped me with some tough parts in my life from coping with very tough deaths of very close friends and family members to even helped me graduate or survive high school. Some of my classmates would agree that it helped them get through boring Biology periods and lectures since they were taken turns reading it. Back then in sixth grade it was Seaquest DSV had a huge crush on one of the actors then gradually by the time I was in high school was Backstreet Boys. Got older got into writing about what I write about now. Sometimes it has helped me clear my head while making some tough decisions even helped me after I was diagnosed with a disability at age 19 called Aspergers. It apparently explained some of the reasons why I am very colorful and creative. So sometimes having this disability can be a perk as a writer.

Creativity allows the writer to become another character or to act out a fantasy or act that is in full production in their head without being considered insane or crazy. There’s not another fun way to do so then through descriptive words, actions and scenes. To share with the reader what goes on with the writer’s creations and relationship and actions of the characters. If there are certain lines that make a certain character seem witty, a smart Alec, or a bit of a smart ass or if they are a bit like the reader which they can relate to. You want creativity to entertain you and make you want to read more to find out what happens next.

If I was given any choice and I hope to make this a final career in life to be able to write and pursue writing as a career I’d so chose to do this until death. I guess that is why I want to be a screen writer because your writing seems to live on through movies and by having actors recite your words which feels like a complete honor. Ok even making the greatest emotional acceptance thank you speech at the Oscars seems like a good reason to as to why to be a script writer. But who wouldn’t want to be able to get near your favorite actor and actress without it being considered stalking and can legally be a few feet away without being considered psychotic.

Why do I love to read fan fiction? I’m a writer and sometimes by given feedback and thoughts as to what you think of your fellow writer’s work. Fellow writers sometimes can even plant or spark a idea into my head for a story and not even realize how helpful by sharing their own gifts of creativity and expression could be. I love to read fan fiction because it’s a creative, fictional world that is made up and is in complete control by a writer. Where else can the writer be and claim he or she is a certain celebrity’s love interest and seems to have him or her so Gaga and wrapped around their little finger. You can make this fictional world anyway you want and have a temporary escape that may leave the reader wanting and desiring more. Fan fiction entertains me when I sometimes am bored or stuck with my own story and need a good distraction and to get unstuck while writing. Cause we all know how much writer’s block and the frustration of getting or being stuck drives us freaking insane and nuts. Sometimes trying to write up the start, middle and ending feels like this, so sometimes reading other writer’s works can sometimes clear your mind and just help with the writing process.

I love to read fan fiction because in the story it may not be real but you can be able to picture the star of the story the hero or heroine in a different light even can get a laugh out of it or a good cry. Maybe even wonder silently at the back of your head and ask “Hmm I wonder if he or she ever would come across this story and how they would react are they even like this behind their movie set trailer doors or when not behind the camera lens of the Paparazzi or movie camera?” Sometimes there are some visions the writer has pictured about the hero or heroine can make you laugh and wonder. Sometimes reading fan fiction lets you visit a fellow writer’s thoughts they may have come up with while looking at a tabloid article and see a picture of the story’s stars if it could have been sparked by a role, a quote or a article. We all sometimes think and see things alike that’s why I seem to love reading fan fiction.
